Parker TexLoc PTFE round beadingminiature rod is excellent as a filler in loose bundles of cables, as a pull cord, as o-ring seals, or cut into pieces as bearings and spacers. The smoother finish, greater flexibility, and longer lengths outperform "granular" extrusions. PTFE Beading is a standard item but FEP or PFA extrusions are available. When supplied in FEP and PFA, this product works as a bonding agent, i.e.No process contamination, lowest levels of extractablesHigher flowHigh purity Semiconductor and pharmaceutical conformanceLonger product life and less downtimeChemically inertSmooth nonstick surface resulting, lowest coefficient of friction

or insulation purposes the high resistivity of plastics is an advantage but, in some cases, it can be a serious disadvantage as it results in high static charge build up; this in turn can result in dust pick-up andor spark generation. The established way of improving conductivity is by adding a conductive filler such as a high structure, carbon black. TexLoc offers a wide variety of anti-static and conductive tubing to fit each customers specific needs in smooth-bore or convoluted form. This tubing may be supplied with a fully conductive liner and a fully conductive tube. Fully conductive tubes are available in PTFE and PFA. Industrial grade conductivity conforms to MIL-DTL-27267C with a minimum conductance of 10-20 micro amps and 1, 000 vdc applied over a 14" length. Upon special request, ISO grade tubing is available that conforms to a maximum of a 1 mega ohm resistance over a one meter length when tested in accordance with ISO 8031.
